Super Mario Bros. III is a platformer released in 1990 for the Nintendo NES. The game's main objective is to guide Mario through various themed worlds to rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser. Players navigate levels filled with enemies, obstacles, and power-ups, aiming to reach the end goal while collecting coins and items.
The pace of the game balances exploration and action, requiring precise timing and strategic use of power-ups such as the Super Leaf, which allows Mario to fly temporarily. A unique mechanic in this title is the world map, which permits players to choose different paths and revisit stages, adding a layer of non-linearity uncommon in platformers of that era.
Super Mario Bros. III also introduces distinctive elements like diverse level designs, ranging from desert landscapes to underwater stages, each with its own challenges. The game’s combination of tight controls, creative power-ups, and a sprawling overworld map sets it apart within the platforming genre.
